In his work with the organization, he builds relationships with aspiring leaders from across the country who have devoted their talents to creating positive social change and who are inspired by the works of Congressman John Lewis and other civil rights leaders. Prior to having accepted his fellowship, he served the community of Eminence, KY as a high school social studies teacher and club sponsor.
